Here, you enter a sensitive natural area for a 1-kilometer trail marked with four stations to discover the area's remarkable flora and fauna. A pleasant way to connect the two shores of Lake Paladru, between Paladru and Montferrat.

Simple

The small rest area created here, with its very unusual design, invites passersby not to roll by carelessly: Behind the backrest of the bench rises a remarkable piece of craftsmanship: on one side, a flower stem bearing an unfolded blossom; and from the other, a bee flies towards it. An original idea, and rightly documented here several times with photos.

Here we encounter three stone cubes stacked on top of each other, each smaller than the one below it. The gray cubes each have a white field in the center of their sides, with a cross carved into it, painted blue and standing out against the gray/white background. This construction forms the basis for the present small sacred monument: above it rises a radiant gold figure of the Madonna. From this prominent position, the Virgin Mary – venerated in France almost always under the title "Notre-Dame" ("Our Lady") – gazes far into the country, and has done so for more than 120 years. @Rainer N. has already explained the date and reason for its construction in his short post.

Very pleasant pass to climb, not too steep a slope, well marked all the way.

More of a gravel path than a swampy one

End of the climb and arrival on the plateau

Arriving from Cessieu, I made a small detour via Voissant then the remaining 4 km to the Col des Mille Martyrs. Easy climb, no cars on this early Sunday afternoon and a very beautiful forest upon arrival. Bucolic viewpoints as a bonus during the climb. The descent to Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine is perfect. Super rolling surface and moderate slope allow you to reach 50 km/h effortlessly. Paradise exists, it is in Chartreuse.
